I just did a bunch of these with my recent BFR on the Arrow - like a
brick. The only positive thing you can say about these glide
characteristics is that it makes it easy to avoid wake turbulence by
staying well above a normal glidepath.


I do it all the time in my Johnson Rocket -- overhead approach at
cruise; break over the numbers, slow to gear/flap speed (100 mph) in the
turn (it will be at the correct speed at the 180 point); continue
turning and land at the 360 point, on the numbers. I have done this with
a T-34 and a Zlin 242 -- all to 3-point attitude "squeakers". When
dirty, these planes have about a 3:1 glide ratio.

The 360 overhead allows you to monitor standard traffic and keeps you in
tight, so you can control your glide.
